Kristian Guerrero's life changed forever last month when her husband and unborn son were killed by a drunk driver. The 24-year-old, who was 18 weeks pregnant at the time, was in a car with her husband, Fabian Guerrero-Moreno, when an intoxicated driver veered across a Texas highway center line and slammed into their vehicle.

The family had been on the way home from an immigration meeting in San Antonio. "My husband was getting his U.S. residency and he was approved that day," Guerrero shared with Inside Edition. "Immigration...wanted to see us and know that our marriage was real. I had our whole wedding album with us that day."

Guerrero's husband passed away at the scene of the accident, and she was hospitalized for a brain bleed. A few days later, she was induced into labor by doctors and delivered a 19-week-old stillborn son named Fabian James. Now, nearly two months after enduring tragedy, Guerrero is sparking a powerful social media conversation about the consequences of driving under the influence.

On September 8, Guerrero shared a post on Facebook that highlighted the toughest moments of her experience. "A lot of [reports of our story] were focusing on how sad it was that we were just a young couple, [saying] ‘they were so in love,' no one really showed the ugly side of it,” she toldInside Edition. “And it was ugly. It wasn’t okay. It did cause a lot of damage."

In the Facebook post, Guerrero included an image of the family's totaled car, as well as a picture of herself covered in scrapes and bruises as she held her late son. "This is me finally being able to hold my son," Guerrero wrote alongside the photo. "This is what being in an induced labor for almost 24 [hours] after surviving a car crash that killed my husband and my son looks like. All because someone thought it was okay to get wasted and drive."

Guerrero went on to urge anyone reading the post to think twice before getting behind the wheel drunk, and to pass that message along to friends. "It IS okay to stop a friend from driving," she continued. "It IS okay to take someone's keys away from them when they're showing signs of being drunk. And it IS okay to pick up the phone and call for a ride if you find yourself feeling a little too tipsy. It's not a sign of weakness. It's a sign of maturity to be honest with yourself and know the consequences of driving drunk outweigh any kind of shame you might feel admitting you're too drunk to drive."

She finished her post by revealing that she hopes to prevent other families from experiencing the pain she's currently going through. "I could've died...but God had other plans, she wrote. "I'm left behind to fight this fight for my husband and my son. And I will continue to spread awareness and share this story until the day I die in hopes it prevents anyone else from feeling the pain I walk around with every day. I refuse to let my husband and my son's deaths be in vain."

Over the past few weeks, Guerrero's post has gone viral, and the response has been nothing short of moving. Guerrero has received messages of condolence from strangers, and comments from readers who've told her that the post has helped them grasp the seriousness of driving drunk. "I've received messages from people telling me that because of my post they will no longer drive under the influence or allow any of their friends or family to do so either," she shared with ATTN. And that was the whole point of the post, to prevent these tragedies." Take a look at Guerrero's full post below.
